INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE AND SUMMER SCHOOL

ON HOMOTOPY TYPE THEORY

12-17 August 2019
Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh USA

https://hott.github.io/HoTT-2019

Submission of talks and registration are open for the International
Homotopy Type Theory conference (HoTT 2019), to be held August 12-17,
2019, at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, USA.  Contributions
are welcome in all areas related to homotopy type theory, including
but not limited to:

* Homotopical and higher-categorical semantics of type theory
* Synthetic homotopy theory
* Applications of univalence and higher inductive types
* Cubical type theories and cubical models
* Formalization of mathematics and computer science in homotopy type
theory / univalent foundations

Please submit 1-paragraph abstracts through EasyChair here:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hott2019

The submission deadline is 1 June 2019; we expect to
notify accepted submissions by 15 June.  This conference is run on the
“mathematics model”: full papers will not be submitted, submissions
will not be refereed, and submission is not a publication.  Please
email hott2019conference@gmail.com with any questions.

STUDENT PAPER AWARD

A prize of $500 (and distinguished billing in the conference program)
will be awarded to the best paper submitted by a student (or recently
graduated student). To be eligible, you must include in your
submission (or send separately to hott2019conference@gmail.com) a link
to a preprint of your paper (e.g. on arXiv or a private web space).

REGISTRATION, ACCOMODATION, AND TRAVEL

Registration for the conference and the summer school is now open at
https://hott.github.io/HoTT-2019/registration/.  A limited amount of
financial support is available for students and postdoctoral
researchers; application instructions are available at the web site,
as is information about accomodation and travel options.

1 Response to HoTT 2019 Last Call

  1. Steve Awodey says:

    Submissions are now open for a special issue of Mathematical Structures in Computer Science on the proceedings of the HoTT 2019 conference, edited by Dan Licata and Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine.

    Submission deadline: 15 November, 2019

    Papers on work presented at the HoTT19 conference are particularly encouraged, but the special issue is open to any work on homotopy type theory and related research areas.

    Specific topics include but are not limited to: homotopical and higher-categorical semantics of type theory; synthetic homotopy theory; applications of univalence and higher inductive types; cubical type theories and cubical models; formalization of mathematics and computer science in homotopy type theory / univalent foundations; and new type theories based on higher-dimensional ideas.

    To submit a paper, please follow the general MSCS submission procedure at https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/mathematical-structures-in-computer-science . When giving the submission details, select “Homotopy Type Theory 2019” for the field “Special Issue”.

    Best,
    Dan and Peter.
